Description

Late Victorian early Edwardian no heat spinel and diamond twist ring, set with an oval natural spinel alongside 14 old cut diamonds, totalling about 0.4cts very pretty and beautifully made and in fabulous antique condition stamped for 18ct gold inside and far lovelier than the images show. Red spinels are the rarest and most valuable of the spinel family, the famous "Black Prince's Ruby" in the Imperial State Crown is one of the most famous spinels, and it was mistaken for a ruby as all spinels were mistaken for rubies until identification of gems occurred with the development of scientific equipment to assist in gem identification. Gem-quality red spinels are considered rare, even rarer than rubies and sapphires of similar quality and colour so a true investment piece and a beautiful antique ring with lovely old European cut diamonds surrounding the spinel. M 1/2 but can be sized and posted out for the listed price. 3.1gms.

FAQs

Early 20th century jewellery encompasses the Edwardian and early Art Deco periods, characterised by intricate platinum-topped gold work, delicate filigree, and prominent use of diamonds alongside coloured gemstones like spinel, ruby, and sapphire.

These rings were traditionally crafted using 18-carat yellow gold, often combined with silver or platinum settings on the face to enhance the brilliance of diamonds, paired with natural untreated gemstones.

Authentic pieces often feature hand-cut stones such as old mine or old European cuts, handcrafted metal settings, traditional British hallmarks, and signs of age-appropriate wear on the metal and facets.

Antique rings add a touch of historic character when worn as a standalone statement piece or paired with minimalist contemporary gold bands to create a sophisticated, curated contrast.

Antique rings should be stored individually in soft pouches, removed during rigorous manual tasks, and cleaned gently with a soft brush and mild soapy water, avoiding harsh ultrasonic cleaners.
